This is my first Sienna Cross book but the instant I finished, I went and borrowed book 1 of her previous series, which tells the stories of Isabella’s parents, because this book just made me a fan. 

Give me slow burn forbidden romance, add in the mafia princess x bodyguard trope and I eat it up, and that’s exactly what this book did. I couldn’t put it down. The banter, especially in the beginning is top tier, the possessiveness and jealousy makes the book, the plot is solid and entertaining, and the romance/spice slow burn and packed with tension. It was exactly the book I needed in my life right now and I anticipate reading the author’s backlist.

5/5 easily would recommend to anyone seeking a forbidden romance
